January’s Where Did Multiplayer in MMOs Go? panel did so well at PAX South that the organizers have decided to go for an encore at PAX East this weekend, and Massively Overpowered will be part of it once again.
Our own Senior Reporter Eliot Lefebvre (aka the Final Fantasy Storyboard Guy) will serve on the panel, which also includes ZergID’s Alex Albrecht, Camelot Unchained’s Jenesee Grey, The Repopulation’s Joshua Halls, and MMORPG.com’s Bill Murphy. Here’s the topic up for debate:
In early MMORPGs, interacting with other community members in places like taverns and main cities was a necessity for advancement and survival. Today, interacting with random players has become a rare event instead of the tools for survival. Is this what we all wanted to happen?
If you’re at PAX, you can join them on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST in the Arachnid Theater. The rest of us will just have to wait for the debrief!
